Ok so here's the deal. I'm a new author, and I want reviews. So, please please please review. I'll be your best friend? And also I don't have a beta so I'm doing the best I can. And my chapters are short. I have no patience for long chapters.

The Hike

"Don't hurt him! You can't do this, stop-," the tortured cry came from my lips. It was Edward. He was being hurt.

"Honey, are you alright?"

It's okay, I'm in my room. I realized this as I came cashing back down into reality. He's safe. It was just a vision. Although I didn't know where it took place, nor did I know the time, it still felt incredibly real. I was so relieved to find that it wasn't. Yet. But it would be.

"I'm okay, I think. Just a bad vision."

Immediately, he began to question me. "When did it take place, and where? Who was in it? What was happening? Can you tell me these things?"

"I don't understand any of it except that you were there with someone else. You were thrashing about in pain. I don't know when it's going to happen. This is so frustrating!"

"Don't worry about it, honey. Let's go do something to take your mind of it. Are you up for a nice long hike?"

"Sounds good."

About ten minutes later we were packed up with our gear and ready to go. We took the Volvo to the trail. When we got there, it was beginning to get dark but we didn't care. Hiking in the dark was so much more fun. No one would be around to bother us. We could do whatever we wanted.

After a good hour of hiking, Edward said, "Alice, you look so beautiful in the moonlight."

I looked at him and smiled. "Why, thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." I was grinning now.

He closed the short distance between our bodies with a kiss. We were soon interrupted by a cracking noise. I didn't mind the interruption though. This didn't feel right. Kissing Edward wasn't something I ever dreamed of doing. I just liked him as a person.

Again there was a cracking noise. It sounded like a tree being ripped from the ground. It made me clamp my hands over my ears.

"What the hell is that?" I asked him when it had subsided.

"Alice, get behind me. I think someone's coming our way."

I didn't have time to move, however, because the person who was causing all the noise came into view and I was frozen in place.

"Hey, do you mind giving me a hand? My friend is stuck in a tree and I can't get him out by myself." Well shit, that man was huge. He was kind of scary, that's how big he was.

Edwards's body eased when he saw that the man meant us no harm. He had just been trying to get his friend out of a tree. But who gets stuck in a tree in the first place? I covered up my giggles with a cough. The whole thing was ridiculous.

"Sure, we'll help. Lead us to him," Edward said, not wanting to be unkind.

Moments later we were standing under a gigantic maple tree. It truly was magnificent. I could only see the shape of the man that was stuck up there. I think I'll call him Tarzan, at least until I find out what his real name is. Again I had to disguise a giggle. I looked at Edward and the mystery man beside me and said, "So gentlemen, how do you plan on saving that person up there?"

As I said those words I was brought under by another vision. This one was closer to real time, I could feel it. A man jumped on Edward. I was being held back. Then, it went forward in time. There was a giant room. It was so white and pristine. I didn't know where it was.

As I snapped back to reality, I could see that the man was looking at me funny. Edward had concern in his eyes. I looked at him in panic. I begged him with my eyes to just leave them and let us go home. But, being Edward, he didn't want to be unkind. He couldn't be unkind, even to people we didn't know. I wished he could read my mind. I wanted him to know that these strangers could mean us harm.

Seconds later, rough hands were around my neck, and a huge man was straddling Edward's chest. Tarzan had Edward firmly pinned down under him. Edward's struggles went unnoticed by the buff Tarzan.

"Well, now…Looks like we have you exactly where we want you. You're coming with us."

And with that, he sedated us both with large and painful needles. I tried to fight it but I felt my body going numb. I looked over with the little strength that I had left to see if Edward was alright. He looked to be in the same state that I was in. Soon the fuzziness clouded my brain and completely took me under.
